Association of Nox1 and vinculin with colon cancer progression.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nox1 mRNA, protein, and activities were compared in the paired primary and metastatic colon adenocarcinoma cell lines SW480 and SW620, and in normal colon tissues and colon cancer tissues. Our results demonstrated that Nox1 levels were higher in the primary SW480 cells than that in metastatic SW620 cells and were not associated with colon cancer progression. We further discovered that vinculin protein level in SW620 was much higher than that in SW480 cells, whereas E-cadherin was lower. We conclude that vinculin and E-cadherin, but not Nox1, may serve as biomarkers for colon cancer progression.

Interleukin-4 and interleukin-13 increase NADPH oxidase 1-related proliferation of human colon cancer cells
Human colon cancers express higher levels of NADPH oxidase 1 [NOX1] than adjacent normal epithelium. It has been suggested that reactive oxygen species [ROS] derived from NOX1 contribute to DNA damage and neoplastic transformation in the colon, particularly during chronic inflammatory stress. However, the mechanism(s) underlying increased NOX1 expression in malignant tumors or chronic inflammat...
متن کاملNADPH oxidase 1 supports proliferation of colon cancer cells by modulating reactive oxygen species-dependent signal transduction
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a critical role in cell signaling and proliferation. NADPH oxidase 1 (NOX1), a membrane-bound flavin dehydrogenase that generates O2̇̄, is highly expressed in colon cancer. To investigate the role that NOX1 plays in colon cancer growth, we used shRNA to decrease NOX1 expression stably in HT-29 human colon cancer cells. The 80-90% decrease in NOX1 expression achi...
متن کاملAssociation of Helicobacter pylori Infection With Colon Cancer and Adenomatous Polyps
Background and objective: Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the most common chronic bacterial infections in the world, especially in the developing countries. This bacterium is the cause of many diseases such as lymphoma, gastritis, peptic ulcers, and stomach cancer. According to recent reports, H. pylori infection can potentially increase the risk of colon cancer. The cu...
متن کاملTLR-4 Signalling Accelerates Colon Cancer Cell Adhesion via NF-κB Mediated Transcriptional Up-Regulation of Nox-1
Surgery induced inflammation is a potent promoter of tumour recurrence and metastasis in colorectal cancer. The recently discovered family of Nox enzymes represent a major source of endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) and are now heavily implicated in tumour cell metastasis. Interestingly, Nox enzymes can be 'purposefully' activated by inflammatory cytokines and growth factors which are pr...
متن کاملPredictive Gene Signatures: Molecular Markers Distinguishing Colon Adenomatous Polyp and Carcinoma
Cancers exhibit abnormal molecular signatures associated with disease initiation and progression. Molecular signatures could improve cancer screening, detection, drug development and selection of appropriate drug therapies for individual patients. Typically only very small amounts of tissue are available from patients for analysis and biopsy samples exhibit broad heterogeneity that cannot be ca...
